Why?

If a Chinese ship decided to coast along our shore a bit too close to our Pacific Coast ... how do you think we would react?

The best example of this would be between the US and Cuba ... if a Chinese ship went and patrolled contested waters off the coast of Cuba, the whole world sets off alarm bells and everyone gets excited.

Canadian and American warships off the coast of China in contested waters with Taiwan? It's considered so normalized that North Americans and Europeans can extend their military and navy into foreign waters any time they please.

My favourite twist to this story is how we like to provoke China yet almost everything we buy sell and trade is made exclusively in China. We pretend to hate or dislike their government and system ... yet a huge percentage of our business is tied to them.
